Damn... I didn't want to believe it before, but when Mike said "I committed suicide for the sake of my beloved", they way the girls reacted... I reallly hope the manga doesn't go down that path, I hope I'm just reading too much into it.

Pretty fun chapter. We learned more about Mike, like how she likes younger guys, fufufu.

And if they ever go to Tokyo...it won't be a long time since we are still moving at snail speed in terms of time.

Exactly. I go there a few times a day to see if new chapters to my manga have been released.

My stomach dropped a little at the point. They all paused and everything too.

Yeah, I really got a bad sense on that too, on this otherwise very enjoyable chapter. Really hope that it means nothing, I know drama will come up eventually but I hope that we'd never reach that end...

But yeah, the rest of the chapter is really fun. Soyogi becoming Mike's new fan, Shizuku jealousy over the prospect that Nagi will be taken by those two adults, even got a bit into Tama and Mike's past. Really, at this point, what's with Mike's blushing face over Nagi's close up face, he got 5 members of his harem then? I mean sure, his main harem is just the first three, but the fact remains that this chapter proves that anytime he wants to do one of them, all he needs to do is just ask them and they'll instantly comply...No wonder he's blushing like mad in the end, seeing how lovely Mike is in the title page

It's not how the girls reacted, but how they didn't react. I'm pretty sure that Mike has told other people that the character commits suicide to protect her beloved, and they either think it is very romantic or feel revulsion. Given that the first Maidens gave themselves the sea god, the current Maidens probably do not find the idea very upsetting.

My take on the looks on the three Maidens' faces is more along the line of not finding the idea extraordinary, that it is something they could see someone feeling it would be necessary to do. Mike is probably surprised that the other girls wold be so accepting of the idea of giving up their lives to protect someone.

The theme of sacrifice has been brought up before (didn't we talk about this before?) in chap 52 p 11. And it's Rinne (Invisible in this chapter!) that does the hinting about sacrifice, not as an obligation or imposed from without, but as a prideful duty. Where is this going?!? I wish I had a better grasp of the cultural subtext in this story. The subtle part always seems to wave as it passes and I can only gape and gasp.
